Blessed 2010

A very Happy and Blessed 2010 to everyone!!

New year often marks the beginning of a lot of things. People tend to think of fresh starts, putting behind past mistakes and look forward to newer and better things to come.
Thankfully for me, God has given me a similar hope, but more so because each and every failure I make, I can INSTANTLY wipe clean and start all over because Christ has promised that He would have removed the stains of my mistakes from God. His sacrifice on earth and on the cross has "cleanse" me from all my errors that otherwise would have condemned me in more ways than one.

In retrospect, the year 2009 reflections leads me to think and count the blessings instead of the problems and troubles that has passed. World economy has begun to recover, and I believe so have lives been restored in the year that passed. The iPhone 3G was introduced(although I haven't got one) and Michael Schumacher announced that he will be back in the race next season of F1. That's good news, isn't it?

Life went on with relative good health for me and the people around me. Praise the Lord.

I just pray that in this coming 12 months, churches around the globe will be restored and the spiritual leaders revived to walk with God. It is rather disappointing when church leaders, pastors and such people of God fall. Of course, they are still human. But I can understand how easily one could do God's work, and forget to walk with God.

World peace, environment recovery, end violence...I suppose those are what we would continue to pray for in the year to come.

But we can all certainly look forward to God's promise of a renewed spirit and the working of the Spirit to enable us to serve Him better this year. And I press on to the goal of serving our Lord. Only pray for me that I might persist and have the Word be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
